The quartet met through friends' bands and fortunate pub encounters. Kassidy began writing and recording their music in a share house, which they later converted to a personal studio. They released three EP's, the second entitled The Rubbergum EP Volume 2 on 16 August 2010.

On 1 February 2014, the founder and frontman of the band, Barrie-James O'Neill, left the band to move to Los Angeles to be with his then girlfriend, Lana Del Rey, and has since adopted the stage name "NiGHTMARE BOY" as a solo artist. He has released two singles and an EP under NiGHTMARE BOY. The band continued for a short while but split later that year. The remaining members have since formed a new band called White along with Leo Condie and Kirstin Lynn.
